Kader Khan Chooses Television Over Films

Another Bollywood actor makes his foray into the small screen. And this time it is the funny man of the yesteryears, Kader Khan. After having worked in over 300 films over the last three decades, he is making a comeback but this time he has chosen television over the big screen. He was earlier seen in Hasna Mat on the small screen.

He will be a part of the comedy television series ‘Hi! Padosi…Kaun Hai Doshi?’ This show will be aired on Monday only on Sahara One. This comedy is being directed by Sunil Prasad, who had earlier made ‘Kumkum’.

‘Hi! Padosi…Kaun Hai Doshi?’ is about two neighbors living on the same floor of a building. While one is from Punjab, called Harvansh Lal Mehta, the other man is from Gujrat, Hansmukh Lal Mehta. The confusion stems from the same initials of both the neighbors. ‘Hi! Padosi…Kaun Hai Doshi?’ also stars Govind Bole, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Giriraj Kabra, Nilu Kohli, Muni Jha, Gulfam Khan and Govind Khatri.

We best remember Kader Khan for his comic acts in David Dhawan films alongside Govinda. In the later part of his career, we saw Kader Khan in supporting roles as an uncle, brother, father or even the side kick of the villain in several films.

Kader Khan had also written the dialogues for Manmohan Desai’s film Roti. It has been reported that Kader Khan is currently penning down the sequel of the hit comedy film, Andaaz Apna Apna. The film was supposed to go into pre-production in 2009, but the film has been put on hold for the time being.
